Parramatta has informed the NRL integrity unit after being made aware of photographs circulating on social media of rising star Isaiah Iongi.
This masthead has been sent photos of Iongi seemingly smoking a substance. After becoming aware of the matter, the Eels have contacted the NRL, as is required under the rules whenever a club suspects there is a potential integrity issue.

Parramatta officials have also attempted to contact Iongi, but have so far been unable to do so on Tuesday morning.
Iongi is considered a future superstar, nominated as one of the rookies of the year after a breakout season in 2025.
After playing just one NRL game for Penrith, Iongi has made the No.1 jersey his own at the club following the departure of Clint Gutherson.
Story updated: Eels have spoken with Iongi this morning.

So true
He will just get a fine. Thats an old photo. The nrl can't prove its weed etc.
Yeah I'd say the person who released the photos in far more trouble,
Will the NRL come down harder on us in light of the Lomax situation?
Love all the people trying to chastise these people for living a normal life. People smoke, people have friends, people make mistakes. Get over it. This is just a football team and a normal human being doing normal shit
What's not normal is sharing other peoples private life photos without permission 🤣 that's what's happened
That is not the real world. I know in my industry if pics of me like this got out to my boss, i lose my job. I understand in what you are saying and somewhat agree it is not a big deal but it is also illegal if it is pot and not a good look for a professional footballer.
Latrell got 1 game for cocaine 🤣 trust me Iongi will be ok lol
He also played the indigenous and mental health card too.
Considering this photo is old and released by a spiteful ex partner lol, I think Izzy all clear
